Can I buy tickets?

No. It is a free event. If someone offers to sell you a ticket or wrist band please report them immediately because they are stealing from you, breaking the law and endangering people’s safety.

Can I get a VIP pass?

These are limited and if you’re eligible for one, we are already in touch with you. Please do not hassle us for one.

Can I get free stuff?

There is a lot of free product handed out throughout the day. If you are cool there is every chance you will get something. If you pester and annoy or carry on like an idiot then obviously you should expect nothing. DO NOT hassle the pros for free stuff. Let them do what they came to do which is put on an amazing show for you by putting their bodies on the line. Thank them for their effort and you may get lucky.

Can I volunteer?

Due to liability issues we limit volunteering to small jobs such as rubbish pick up, etc. If you are keen and available we’d be stoked and we will do whatever we can to get you some product to say thanks.

Can I work for BOWL-A-RAMA?

How do I get a media pass?

The media outlet you work for knows how to do this. They will be in touch with us to ensure their authorised representatives are there to get the best shots/film/editorial. If you are not professional media please do not contact us for a media pass. We simply do not have room on the platform for you. This all comes down to rider safety and respect for the viewing public.

How do I get tickets?

As it is free and open to the general public it is first in best dressed as far as seating goes. We attempt to provide as much free seating as possible. Sometimes this isn’t enough so get there early and please respect those next to you.

Is there disabled access?

Yes. Please get in touch early so we can organise this properly. On the day we have several thousand fans and it can be hard without prior organisation to ensure proper access routes are dedicated and viewing space left available.

What should I do in the case of an incident?

Please find a security guard immediately. They will then handle the situation.
